What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

Marketing my business, Finding experienced employees, Building a business line of credit, and Competitively pricing Products/ Services for my local market.

Actions I’ve taken so far

I've created a company logo and business cards that have helped me with word-of-mouth advertising. I've invested in a truck and the minimum equipment needed to perform the work. I've also found a few loyal customers that love the quality work that I perform, and have helped me build my business to what it is so far. I also have a bookkeeper and Quickbooks Proadvisor thanks to my wife being the owner of Warren Business Solutions dba RG Bookkeeping Services.

My future goals

Assembling an honest, professional, experienced, knowledgeable, crew that will help me perform the day-to-day work duties and scale up my business. Invest more money into equipment and more time into education. Through proper training to become a certified arborist; we will learn the industry standards of Arbor culture, tree risk assessment, and the best work practices for safety and efficiency.

My motivations to work with a mentor

To potentially learn new skills that will give my business a competitive edge and the greatest chances of success!
